As the first and only area provider to bring you new technology with V.92, Comteck Internet Services now provides complete E-Mail Virus and Trojan Scanning on all @comteck.com E-Mail addresses. E-Mail remains the number one thing people use the Internet for and with the rapid spread of new viruses and trojans, Comteck wants you to feel secure knowing your Comteck E-Mail is clean and free from virus threats. Powered by GeCAD Software's RAV Anti-Virus, a leading technology company specialized in providing top anti-virus software since 1994, it protects your critical data against malwares and unauthorized data delivery.
Comteck's Virus Definitions are updated automatically every 8 hours to ensure we have the most recent and reliable virus signatures.
If you have already received E-Mail from Comteck's RAV AntiVirus, the server is set to notify you if someone has sent you E-mail containing a virus. We will try to clean the E-Mail first then as a last resort, delete the attachment. Most current viruses, like Klez, contain their own SMTP server, and sends infected E-Mail out on it's own. The entire E-mail is the virus and it's difficult to tell it's origin. If you receive a notice, it will attempt to identify the sender (not always possible with some viruses), and as a last resort, the bottom includes the original header that may contain information regarding the E-Mail's origin.
The statistics are available online for your viewing pleasure at Anti-Virus Stats.
So where are all there coming from? Here's a partial list that represent the bulk of it ... AOL, Road Runner, Comcast, Insight, Compuserv, MSN, AT&T, Prodigy, Earthlink, Verizon, Ameritech, IQuest, Kiva, and Skyenet/MyVine. These ISPs DO NOT provide protection for their users against sending or receiving E-Mail viruses.
Comteck is committed to providing you with the best Internet Service available.
